I am a Burmese exile taking a near-permanent refuge in New York and Sydney. Here are my essays about Burma and anything else I feel like writing about. And posting the articles I like from selected sites. Bridging Burma to the world this Blog is more of a Politically-Oriented Literary Blog than a Plain News Blog or a Sophisticated Thoughts Blog.

(Compilation of translated news from
various Burmese and Kachin blogs this week.)

KIA illegal logging camp at Mone-dane-par Village
near Mansi Town in Bamaw District.

Heavy fighting has recently re-started
between the Army troops and KIA (Kachin Independence Army) insurgents in the
KIA-controlled area by China-Burma border despite the frequently on-and-off
peace talks between two long-term foes.

According to the army’s official site Myawaddy
a fierce battle started when troops from Burma Army’s Ma-pa-kha Command tried to stop illegal
logging activities near the KIA-controlled Mone-dain-par Village of Mansi
Township in Bamaw District.

There were intensive clashes between
KIA 12th Battalion and Burmese Army units from Northern Regional
Command on October-22. According to a senior officer from Army’s Northern
Command (Ma-pa-kha) army units were sent into KIA-controlled area in the Mansi
Township of Bamaw District to arrest the illegal loggers there.

My name is Captain Phyo Thet Htun and I
and my family are now living in Canada as refugees. I graduated from the
Intake-47 of DSA (Defense Services Academy) in December 2004 and served in LIB-89 under LID-99
and later in the elite Cyber Warfare Unit at the War Office in Naypyidaw.

On August 13, 2013 I took a medical
pension due to my bad eyes and came out to Canada where I am now living while
trying to get my refugee asylum as a persecuted refugee from Burma.

This is my honest confession that the
hundreds of clandestine internet pages --
disseminating anti-Muslim and anti-Democracy propagandas and thus instigating
racial, religious, and political unrest and deadly riots in Burma -- have
been directly controlled and actively ran by the War Office at Naypyidaw, and I
was once in the thick of it.

Just not long ago this whole world had
to march through extreme ideology-based politics. Especially from around the
World-War-2 period to the end of Cold War. Once at the end of Cold War the
results-oriented politics became stronger and prominent.

On the other side various theories of
good economic management haves become truly influential and the nations’
emphasis is more on the results-based economics. Clearly not on the ideology-based
political economy.

Good Economics is Good Politics

For whatever ideology and whatever
system a nation practices their main aim is the economic success. The political end is not the success of a
political ideology but the economic development, or the support of particular
ideology for that economic prosperity. Thus a political ideology has become
just a political means to achieve
economic prosperity.

GENEVA, Oct. 21 - As the UN Human
Rights Council scrutinized Saudi Arabia's domestic rights record this morning,
a minority of democracies such as Canada, UK, and the Czech Republic raised
concerns, while the vast majority of countries lined up to defend and praise
one of the world's most repressive theocratic regimes.

82 countries in the United Nations
praise Saudi Arabia for its ‘outstanding’ human rights record. Despite
widespread recognition of Saudi Arabia’s abysmal record on the rights of women,
religious freedom, and political liberties, the country is poised to win a seat
on the Human Rights Council in elections scheduled for Nov. 12th by the UN
General Assembly.

Horrific Whitechapel bottle attack by
Muslim patrol caught on CCTV. Detectives have released CCTV footage of a
violent bottle attack on an American student, by a gang of five men.

Tower Hamlets police believe the man from Florida was targeted simply
because he was “obviously not local”. The detailed footage clearly shows five
Asian men (Bengali-Muslims of local Sharia-patrol) setting upon Francesco
Hounye, 22, who had only arrived in the UK three days earlier.

They smashed a bottle into his face and
then chased after him to continue their assault, repeatedly kicking and
punching him. The attack happened in the early hours of June 17 in Commercial
Road, Whitechapel about 15 metres east from the junction with New Road.

Greenspan Mulls Roots of Crisis He Didn't Foresee. For 18½ years as Federal Reserve chairman, he was rhapsodized for helping drive a robust U.S. economy. Yet in the years after he stepped down in 2006, he was engulfed by accusations that he helped cause the 2008 financial crisis — the worst since the 1930s.

Now, Alan Greenspan has struck back at any notion that he — or anyone — could have known how or when to defuse the threats that triggered the crisis.

He argues in a new book, "The Map and the Territory," that traditional economic forecasting is no match for the irrational risk-taking that can inflate catastrophic price bubbles in assets like homes or tech stocks.

As China’s economy has grown so has
Chinese skill at using its economic power to pressure nations to cooperate. All the nations opposing China in the
South China Sea have significant economic ties with China. China is always
offering to invest more or allow trade concessions (let the country export to
China) in return for “cooperation”.

At the very least this gives
“pro-China” forces in the target country some clout. China is not reckless in
the use of this economic weapon. China rarely makes deals that harm Chinese
economic interests.

But there are many economic decisions
that can go several ways and China makes it clear it will trade with nations
that do what China wants. This even works with the United States. Take the
movie industry.

Just like Nazi Germany did in the
1930s, American movie makers are pressured to keep things out of movies that
make China look bad. For years this worked for the Nazis and it has worked for
China as well. A recent example is the movie “Gravity”.

Bill De Blasio the Democrat Party's Mayoral candidate
together with Muslim-activist Linda Sarsour.

“I want at least 1,000 to 2,000 to die
in one day,” Shahawar Siraj told an NYPD informant. The Pakistani illegal alien
and Muslim bookstore employee was discussing his plans to kill as many New
Yorkers as possible. “I’m going to fuck this country very bad.”

But before Siraj and his collaborator could bomb the 34th Street subway
station at Herald Square in New York City, they were arrested. Their plans to bomb
the subway and Macy’s department store came to nothing. But under Bill de
Blasio, the New York Police Department would never have been allowed to lay a
finger on them.

Some years later, Ahmed Ferhani was
telling an NYPD undercover detective about his plan to bomb churches and
synagogues. He talked of blowing up
“the biggest synagogue” in Manhattan, dressing up as a Jewish worshiper,
planting a bomb and walking away.

(Translation of news article from Myanmah Ahlin
Newspaper on October 20, 2013.)

Burmese workers unjustly arrested in Mahachai, Thailand.

Thai policemen of Mahachia Town in
Samut Sakhon Province are quite notorious in shaking down Burmese workers, both
legal and illegal, working in the town and nearby areas.

According to Burmese
workers there the Thais are daily arresting Burmese and only releasing the ones
willing to pay them hefty bribes.

Just last Sunday October-13 more than
100 Burmese workers on their only day-off a week were arrested and squeezed
money out off them by a group of nasty Thai policemen working out of their
massive 4-storie police station near Mahachai Markets.

An enforcer for hate preacher Anjem
Choudary yesterday admitted joining a ‘Muslim Patrol’ which threatened to
enforce sharia law. Jordan Horner, 19, was a leading member of a vigilante mob
that roamed London’s East End attacking non-Muslims in a campaign against
Western culture.

The gang threatened to ‘kill non-believers’ and ‘shank’ or stab them and
uploaded videos to YouTube criticising people’s appearance. The ginger-haired
convert, who uses the name Jamaal Uddin, admitted assaulting two men during one
confrontation.

During a hearing at the Old Bailey, he
also pleaded guilty to two public order offences via video link from high
security Belmarsh Prison. Horner is a close associate of Choudary and was
arrested outside his home earlier this year for assaulting a photographer.

Karen terrorist bombers’ attempt on
October-14 to randomly kill an American tourist family in Traders Hotel the
most prestigious hotel in Rangoon surely was a deliberate and cowardly
terrorist attack.

Since then everyone in Rangoon has an
opinion about who really are behind the recent spate of horrid bombings all
over the town. Especially after the capture of suspected Traders Hotel Bomber
Saw Myin Lwin (a) Maw Hta apparently an ethnic Karen from Thu-mwe-hta village
in Pharpun Township of Karen State.

He and two other Karen fugitives Saw
Nay Toe and Saw Htun Htun both wanted by the Burmese police as the persons of
interest in recent spate of bombings are the junior officers from notorious KNLA
Fifth Brigade.

Malala was denied her Nobel by
Norwegian Socialists trying to
please Islamist Muslims.

The picture on the front page of
Saturday’s New York Times was worth a thousand words. Young Pakistani girls,
one of them clutching a notebook, were awaiting the news from Oslo. Their heroine, Malala Yousafzai, was in
the running for the Nobel Peace Prize.

They were to be disappointed. The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons headed by Ahmet Uzumcu a Turkish Muslim was given the honor.

True to form, the committee awarding the prize was back at it, supremely
political in the picks it makes. There had been the anti-Bush awards — Jimmy
Carter, Al Gore and Mohamed ElBaradei and the International Atomic Energy
Agency he presided over.

And in 2009 came the baffling choice of President Barack Obama. He
hadn’t even had time to unpack his luggage at the White House; he hadn’t
brokered peace deals or ended wars. But the folks in Oslo were keen to make a
splash.

Rangoon the former capital of Burma now
known as Myanmar is tightly gripped by mass-hysteria driven by extreme fear and
loathing of Muslims as so many bombs believed to be planted by Muslim
terrorists have been exploding recently all over the city and other smaller
cities across Burma.

Just last night (October-14) a crude
time bomb deliberately left in the bathroom of Traders Hotel’s Room-921
exploded at 11:30 pm and seriously injured a 43-year-old American woman. She
and her husband and two young Children had just checked into the hotel at about
12:00 am that day.

Before that two teenagers were
seriously wounded by another home-made bomb left on roadside in Thar-kay-ta
Township of Rangoon when they tried to open the package at about 5:40 pm on
October-13.

Bengali-Muslims definitely wanted to
Islamize Thandwe as they needed a strong foothold in Arakan for their massive
Muslim invasion into Burma to be successful. They needed to multiply their
Bengali-Muslim population many folds in Thandwe as fast as possible. To do that
they have used a two-pronged population-multiplier method to outnumber and
outbreed the native Yakhine-Buddhist populace.

They are constantly bringing in more
Benglai-Muslim illegals from Bangladesh through Kyaun-ni-maw and Tha-byu-chai
while religiously over-breeding their own population in Thandwe Township.

All the young Bengali-Muslim men smuggled in from Bangladesh are
temporarily housed at Kyauk-ni-maw Mosque and then gradually transported to the
Saudi-funded mosques in the villages near Thandwe.

Bringing down an airliner continues to
be the Gold Standard of terrorism. If anyone thinks that our enemies have “been
there, done that” and are not targeting US commercial aviation -- think again.

There have been several cases recently throughout the industry of what appear
to be probes, or dry-runs, to test our procedures and reaction to an inflight
threat. A typical example is an incident that occurred just a few days ago one
of our flights from DCA-MCO.

A group of Middle-Eastern males boarded in DCA. Shortly after takeoff,
one got up and ran from his seat in coach towards the flight deck door. He made
a hard left and entered the forward lav, where he stayed for a considerable
length of time! While he was in there, the others got up and proceeded to move
about the cabin, changing seats, opening overhead bins, and generally making a
scene. They appeared to be trying to occupy and distract the flight attendants.

Lt. Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa is the
highest-ranking defector from the former Soviet bloc. He fled to the U.S. in
1978 when he was the deputy chief of Communist Romania’s foreign intelligence
service. He was also a top advisor to Nicolae Ceausescu, the country’s
Soviet-allied leader.

His newest book is Disinformation:
Former Spy Chief Reveals Secret Strategies for Undermining Freedom, Attacking
Religion and Promoting Terrorism. There is also a two-hour companion
documentary titled, Disinformation: The Secret Strategy to Destroy the West.

The following is Clarion Project
National Security Analyst Ryan Mauro’s interview with Lt. Gen. Pacepa:

Map of Arakan-South. Thandwe at the bottom of the map.
(Kyauk-ni-maw the Muslim beach-head is at the middle.)

Why has Thandwe been burning just recently by so many anti-Muslim
race-riots ? Why are so many Bengali-Muslims now in Thandwe which
once was a Yakhine-Buddhist town?

Believe it or not, Bengali-Muslims are now more
than 40% of Thandwe population. There were just a few Muslims in Thandwe 20 years
ago.

The obvious answer is the
rapidly-accelerating flow of Bengali-Muslim illegals from the border region.

This
article is my attempt to explain how Thandwe is rapidly becoming a transit-central for
Bengali-Muslim illegals fleeing the population explosion in Bangladesh and seeping into Arakan and then deep inside
Burma. And the natives -- the Yakhine-Buddhists -- are now fighting back to reclaim their traditional land.

Gulf states to introduce medical
testing on travellers to 'detect' gay people and stop them from entering the
country. Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the UAE already outlaw
homosexuality, but are toughening their controversial stance.

Kuwait's director of public health says
'gays will be barred'. A medical test being developed by Kuwait will be used to
'detect' homosexuals and prevent them from entering the country – or any of the
Gulf Cooperation Countries (GCC), according to a Kuwaiti government official.

GCC member countries – Bahrain, Kuwait,
Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates – already deem
homosexual acts unlawful. This controversial stance is being
toughened, according to Yousouf Mindkar, the director of public health at the
Kuwaiti health ministry. Kuwait: The Gulf state is said to be developing a test
that willl 'detect' gay people.

At least 5 Muslim homes in Kyaung Gone
Town near Pathein (Bassein) in the Irrawaddy Delta of Burma were burned down to
the ground after a 43-year-old Muslim man raped multiple times a 13-year-old Burmese-Buddhist
girl and severely injured the child.

The news coming out of Burma initially
suggested that the Muslim man Hla Win (43) grabbed Hnin Yuu Khine (13) into an upstairs
room of his house when the young Burmese-Buddhist girl was
coming back from her work and raped her multiple times. It happened just a month ago.

He threatened to kill the girl if she
told anyone about her rape. Being scared to the death the young child kept
quiet. Next two days the Bengali-Muslim man committed more rapes that injured the
child badly . Finally on September 5 she had to let an aunt of her know of her
rape as she had to go see a doctor.

05 October 2013: Chin Christian Pastor
Mya Thein, from Kyaukphyu, has been treated for his knife injuries at a clinic
after being attacked in Shwe-hlay Bengali-Muslim village, Arakan (now Rakhine) State.

The pastor said a mob of Muslims including children and women struck him
with bamboo sticks and knives, and threw stones at him while passing through
the village on a motorcycle-taxi.

He said he had escaped with driver Ko
Yan Naing as the mob stormed their taxi (motorcycle) near the Shwe-hlay Police
Station. In a video interview, he said: "I
was aware of the violence but when I asked the security officer at Shwe-hlay
bridge, I was told that it was safe to travel."

Bengali blogs this week.)

The fire-gutted Mosque of Pauktaw in Thandwe Township.

On 26 September 2012 former US
president Bill Clinton paid a private visit to the Mark Hotel on 77th Street in
New York City to meet Burma president Thein Sein staying there to attend the UN
General Assembly.

According to a Burmese Government insider Bill Clinton personally
relayed to Thein Sein Saudis' deep concern for the Burma's harsh treatment of
Bengali-Muslim illegals on the Bangladeshi border and he also warned him of
eventual Kosovo-like dire consequences if Burma still refuses to cooperate with
Saudi-funded OIC.

Bill Clinton scared him so much in that
2012 September meeting in New York our president Thein Sein during the 2012
October Arakan Riots had given the Burma Army a brutal shoot-to-kill order
against Yakhine Buddhists to immediately stop the race riots.

on October 1& 2, 2013.)

A dead Muslim man in Thandwe.

Burmese Security-Police forces are
working feverishly to contain ugly Muslim-Buddhist race riots in the famous beach
town of Thandwe in Arakan after the riots broke out on last Saturday
September-28 from the violent altercation between a Bengali-Muslim shop-owner
and a Yakhine-Buddhist three-wheeler-taxi driver.

Meanwhile the race riots have spread like wildfire to
nearby villages, and many people from both sides were killed and wounded. Both Muslim
and Buddhist properties were destroyed and burned down as the riots intensified
all over Thandwe Township.

(Compilation of translated
articles from various Burmese and Bengali blogs last week.)

The latest anti-Muslim hot spot Thandwe
Town is burning again since September-28 after a Bengali-Muslim shop owner
attacked the Yakhine-Buddhist owner-driver of a three-wheeler taxi and ripped a
Buddhist flag and 969-sticker off from the vehicle. The incident happened on
September-28 just last Saturday.

Once the disturbing news spread all
over Thandwe a crowd of more than 200 Yakhine-Buddhists gathered at the site
but the armed police arrived and took the Bengali-Muslim man away from the
crowd. By 4 pm that day the Buddhist crowd dispersed after setting fire to the
Muslim man’s shop-house.
